A bit restless I am today. A lump of jittery causing mood swing -you may say. A quaint soliloquy as I perceive pervades my day.

I cannot exactly attribute this feeling to my lack of stupor although I did not complete my quota yesterday. Restlessness has spread tentacles and I am in an anxious state. The percolation has invited tantrums to nurse my rusty rickety self. My unkempt mane and frowning face make statements and I don't have to utter a word even to prove my point. A doubt emanates from this sorry state that goads me to think-"whether I have consumed years or they have consumed me? Whether I still possess a soul that has the freedom to roam free?" Bad leading to worse -this gnawing sense seeps in to fill my heart with filth and I find myself in gory confines of brooding, having been reduced to a morose.


As the day advanced, dark clouds paved way for bright sunshine. Sitting on my modest balcony sipping a green tea, I stretched my legs to a comfy posture as the afternoon wore on. Evening followed. The small plants in porcelain pots had started smiling by then. A speck of light and not more, made them exult in ecstasy. They swayed to the tune of the autumnal breeze, oblivious of the stark naked reality of winter, that is to follow soon. Perhaps, they wanted to sip each drop of nectar that today has in store. Besides the happy lot, sat a gloomy dumb human, unhappy to the core. Perhaps was unable to appreciate the fact that -Life is not only a blessing but much more.

A lesson learnt today that has far-reaching consequences-"Life without riddle, hurdle, and strife -is perhaps no life. Accept as it comes to you and does not shy away from putting your best smile forward."

Dimmed lights of the evening slowly added perspective to the doomed soul. She is gaining back normalcy, right now watching the most sought after serial on television - KBC.
